Dog Boarding in Barnet

“Claudette is very friendly and you can tell she loves dogs. Great communication to keep us aware of what Milo was up to and flexible in changing timings as requirements change. Milo had a great time with Claudette.”

“Begona looked after my dog Nancy for 5 days, Nancy is an anxious dog but she settled really quickly at Begona's house. Begona is competent and calm making it the perfect environment for her. Her dog, Rango, has a lovely calm personality making him the perfect companion. Thank you!”

“I must say I was anxious leaving my dog Teddy with someone else as he is always with me, but I had absolutely no need to feel anxious or worried. From the first meeting with Adriana she immediately put me at my ease and welcomed myself and Teddy into her home. I could see she loved dogs very much and her genuine warmth and caring approach came across straight away with Teddy. He loved all the attention and cuddles she gave him and he felt very much at home. I highly recommend Adriana and will definitely be asking her to look after Teddy again.”

About: I’m currently welcoming my first clients through Rover and offering calm, reliable dog care in a true home-from-home family environment, with plenty of one-to-one attention and affection. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I have hands-on experience caring for and nurturing them. My husband also grew up with dogs, and in our home they are treated as part of the family — welcome on the sofa, on the bed, and included in everyday family life. My children (8 and 10) are gentle, loving and absolutely adore having doggy guests in the house. Our own dog, Coco, is friendly, sweet-natured, and enjoys having furry friends to stay. Whether it’s daycare, walks, or overnight boarding, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of care, exercise, play, and cuddles throughout their stay. I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your dog with someone new, so I always provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I’m happy to care for small and medium-sized dogs who are friendly with other dogs and comfortable around children. I work from home a few mornings a week, so I have plenty of time to properly look after, care for, and spend quality time with your doggy. I have a spacious fenced garden and a small doggy to keep your fur baby company. We are a family of four - myself, my hubby and 2 children aged 8 and 10, who are always gentle and wonderful with our doggy guests. We are lucky to have three beautiful parks nearby. I ensure to provide plenty of fresh air, exercise, play and especially lots of love and attention.

“Laura was great, she looked after Bruce for two nights and kept us regular updated on how he was doing with some photos and videos. He was well looked after and we'd definitely use Laura again. Thanks”

“Kate met us at the station and seemed great from the first minute. She sent us regular and consistent updates of how our dog (Roo) was settling in, and by all accounts she had a lovely time there, getting to know some other dogs and was really well treated. Well definitely recommend to use again. Thanks”

Mike M.

“Alison and Iraj were amazing with Billie and she had THE BEST time :) Regular updates gave me great comfort while I was away. Huge thanks to them both. Would thoroughly recommend!”

Johnny K.

“Katie had Bailey for a week. She was wonderful with him and sent us regular photo updates which gave us complete peace of mind. We even had to extend his stay by a day and she accommodated us. He was sad to leave her! Thank you Katie!!”

“Greg was great with Kita. I’m always nervous leaving her with a sitter but Greg was incredibly attentive, sent daily updates and even gave her a bath when he noticed her allergies were acting up! He also had other pups over some days so my dog got to play and have her own holiday. Overall we had a really great experience and my partner and I felt so comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands for the week we were away. We’ll definitely use Greg again for sittings!”

Savannah L.

“Moby had a great time with Mirco and Adriana this was his second time with them and he always loves their company. They are clearly experienced and caring. I would 100% recommend them and will be using them again in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Arina! I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life and honestly can’t imagine it any other way. I’m a proud Pomeranian mum, so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping a close eye on routines. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, and I love making them feel comfortable, loved, and part of the pack while they’re with me. I work full-time in Central London, so during weekdays I can host dogs who are comfortable spending a few quiet hours on their own. Weekends are ideal (Friday evening to Sunday, including bank holidays), when I’m fully available to give pets my time, attention, walks, and lots of care. I live in a bright, cozy flat with a secure balcony in High Barnet, surrounded by parks, green trails, and a private greenery area—perfect for safe walks and playtime. I only host small, well-trained, friendly dogs who get along with my Pomeranian. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully, maintain a calm, clean environment, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home.

“To be honest, I have to say that Lulu took better care of Chico than I did, and Chico was very comfortable with her and her family. I have been using this app since 2022 and have worked with many sitters, but Lulu was the best in every way.”

“Marina was brilliant with our 2 Frenchies. Lots of love, walks, pictures and videos. It was our first time leaving them and couldn’t have been happier. Will definitely use Marina again.”

Miranda B.

“Pratik was amazing with Troy, he was extremely sensitive to Troy's needs, being old and very anxious. We received re assuring photos and videos, which settled our guilt whilst we were on holiday and therefore able to relax. We will certainly be using Pratik again :)”

“Julian took excellent care of Rocky for the weekend. He gave great care and attention and also took the time to work on Rocky’s training. It was clear Rocky felt very comfortable and was well taken care of. Julian also sent lots of updates of how Rocky was doing. I highly recommend Julian to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and professional to care for their dog. Thank you Julian!”

About: Hi, I’m Kat! North London HR professional and dog lover who shares my home with Thoth, my 5-year-old Norwegian Forest cat. I have strong experience with senior dogs – particularly caring for an elderly Shih Tzu, managing his daily medication and special care needs. My experience includes: - Dogs from 6-month-old puppies to 14-year-olds - All breeds, all ages – I adapt to each dog's individual needs I work for a defence company (fully vetted) and offer some weekday/evening/weekend walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or overnight boarding (my place or yours). Medication management, gentle routines, personalised care – I treat every dog like my own! I work full-time in a hybrid role (3 days WFH), so I have flexible availability: - WFH days: Extra time for walks/drop-ins, or I can stay at your place (with WiFi access) - Weekdays: Available after 5pm + overnights when needed - Weekends: Free Fri–Sun, all day and night In my North London home: Thoth (my curious indoor Norwegian Forest cat) stays indoors but loves watching garden visitors from the window. The garden door stays closed, but we have a secure communal garden (fully fenced, no street access) if your dog needs space to play. No other pets nearby – neighbours don’t own pets, so it’s a calm environment. Parks nearby – just a quick 10–15 min walk away for exercise and fresh air. In your home (house sitting): I follow your routines exactly – feeding, medication, walks, playtime. Secure doors/windows always checked; I treat your home like my own. Happy to water plants, bring in post, or do light housework too.

“Sheena was absolutely wonderful with Bruno, he felt comfortable and relaxed with her very quickly, and it was lovely to see how happy and settled he was in her care. Sheena kept me updated, gave him lots of attention and playtime, and I could tell Bruno really enjoyed spending time with her. Thank you so much Sheena for taking such amazing care of Bruno! We truly appreciate it 🌸 I would recommend Sheena to anyone looking for someone kind and trustworthy to after their dog.”

About: My experience with dogs really started with Chicho, my French Bulldog 🐾. And honestly, he was the best teacher I could've asked for. French Bulldogs aren't the easiest dogs to figure out, the breathing quirks, the heat sensitivity, the stubbornness when they've decided they don't want to move. Working through all of that gave me a much better feel for dogs in general. I started noticing when a dog is genuinely anxious versus just being a bit dramatic, how much routines matter, and how to help a dog feel calm somewhere new. Since then I've spent time with dogs of different breeds and sizes, and I think that's where you really learn. Every dog has its own thing going on. Some want to be reassured every ten minutes, some just clock where the sofa is and they're sorted. I've gotten pretty good at reading that quickly. I don't have years of professional history to list, but what I do have is real, day-to-day experience caring for dogs and genuinely caring about getting it right. Your dog will be treated like mine. 🐶❤️ I work freelance in digital marketing, so my schedule's fairly relaxed. No office to dash off to, no fixed hours, which means fitting dogs into the day is dead easy. 🐾 I'm also right on the doorstep of a park, literally. So walks aren't a whole thing, it's straight out the door and you're there. Grass, open space, plenty of other dogs to have a good sniff around. Honestly it's a decent setup, probably more ideal for the dogs than it is for me. 😄 Whether it's a walk, a full day, or an overnight stay, the approach is pretty much the same. I keep things calm, consistent, and as close to their normal routine as possible. If they're used to eating at a certain time or sleeping in a specific spot, I'll work around that. Dogs do better when things feel familiar, even in a new place. For day care and overnights at mine, they've got a comfortable home environment, nothing too precious or off limits. 🏡 Chicho taught me early on that dogs need space to just be dogs. For walks, we're straight into the park, good distance, proper time outside, not a quick loop around the block. I always keep owners updated with a few photos and a message during the day. I know how much you worry, even when you try not to. 😄🐾
